Why would you think that being an elec/elec blaster is a sign of someone new?

My friend, 3+ year vet, has an elec/elec blaster that's a.. ahem... blast to play. I made one myself, currently at level 26, because it looked like so much fun, and it is!

ha i dunno it doesnt sound all that creative thats all.
So much fun and i like it better than my Plant/rad controller. It just seems like a better choice for a newb. :]

Lets see- Electric fence, Lightning bolt, Ball Lightning, Short Circuit, Charged Brawl, and my pool powers are Hover and Flurry (i wanted to stay in character, so i got flying and speed, and also I wanted another attack move).
My enhancements are well chosen, I enjoy tinkering with the system so i have decent experience with it already.

any suggestions?
and i will definetly wait for the Igneous battle ha i'm so glad to hear its a normal problem

Yeah i usually team up with a few other newbies that i started the game with, but they're not available all the time, and they are of higher level than i am, so i wanted to catch up.
Maybe i'll just try the changing back and forth, see if that helps, and i'll just keep trying. Thanks!

Well it said that i was at heroic level. Thing is that in the missions some of them are just too hard.
Examples: One mission, taken from the troll (cant remember his name) has me going down into a cavern to take out some Igneous. There is tons of them, and even though they are about the same level or a level higher than me, there is so many of them that I go down rather quickly, even when I try to blast from a distance.
Another mission that i have is one where i have to beat Caliper and his guards. I go down there, and get my butt handed to me on a silver platter, for the same reason.

Add in the fact that i'm just starting and so my character is most likely not up to snuff ha, and i'm getting slightly frustrated.
should i just load up on respites and try just luring them out one by one?

I am a level 11 Blaster, Elec/Elec, and probably given away from the set, this is my first time playing. Second toon though, my first one was a little advanced for me. Anyways, I'm having trouble finding a decent place to level up. All of my missions are too hard, and i'm either finding enemies that are 2 or 3 levels lower than me or enemies that are 2 or 3 levels higher. Any advice would be very very much appreciated. And keep in mind that I am new, and not used to the jargon used

thanks in advance!

Or should i start again? i joined up with a few friends, and they're all at level 14ish, while i'm stuck at level 10. But if i start up with a different controller/blaster i would be fine

Alright I have just started the game, I'm a late joiner I know, but still, I'd like to be a controller. They were always my favorite "types" when I read comics, and thus I'd like to be one. Plant control sounds fun for me, however, I solo often, as I dont like to inconvenience people that I dont know. I started a character, a plant/radiation, as i thought it would be neat, however I am having trouble leveling up and defeating even relatively simple enemy groups. Any advice would be helpful. I'm loving the game, but this lack of damage dealing is hindering my enjoyment.
